    Scrooge's is great. The inside atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The lunch specials are good and good value. Each day is a different special, but a set rotation. The chicken spaghetti (no longer on the regular lunch menu) and red beans are famous. The fried chicken breast is amazing. The vegetables are always seasoned and good. The Comeback dressing is spicier than most and keeps you coming back! Choice of French bread, hush puppies, cheese biscuit or cornbread. I usually go for the hush puppies! Friendly service and lots of regulars. This is Cheers of Jackson, MS. Great bar scene, think Cheers!, and comfortable dining room. Eat here often!

    We went here for Sunday lunch and overall it was a really good experience. I got the bacon wrapped sirloin which was great and reasonably priced too. It came with three sides so it ended up being a lot of food. I really liked the squash casserole and the dressing but it was a little weird that they put white gravy on the dressing. I have only ever had brown gravy on dressing and I wasn’t a fan of the combination with white gravy.

    Really enjoyed the dining experience here. Our server, Aspen, was such a delight and very attentive! It's nice to go to a restaurant that wants your business! The food was spot on. I've had great green-fried tomatoes before. The ones here will knock your socks off! They are topped with an amazing seafood cream sauce...next level! The main course was perfectly paired. Aspen gave great advice as to what sides should be served w/the salmon I ordered. My dining partner ordered the shrimp po boy and was certainly pleased. He ate every bit of it! We ordered drinks from the bar. No complaints. All around, wonderful experience!

    Scrooge’s is a longtime Jackson favorite. They have tons of regular customers. The food is excellent, and the menu gives you numerous options. Lots of appetizers (try the Fried Pickles!). Their Red Beans & Rice is great, and I love their Hamburgers, and Hamburger Steak. The seasoning is amazing.
